BEFORE The Death Battle: Ruby Rose vs Maka Albarn

Paparazzi 1: Miss Rose; how do you feel about fighting with your former idol?

Ruby: Excited! We've been in talks with Wiz & Boomstick for years and we're happy to finally make this happen!

Paparazzi 2: Miss Albarn, don't you feel it's unfair to use Soul in your Death Battle?

Maka: Oh, well, you know. We could always make this a fist fight. *rolls up sleeve* I don't mind breaking out the Maka Chop.

Ruby: Not the Maka Chop! *covers her head* Don't give her any ideas!

Maka: In any case, would you all REALLY wanna see me fight without Soul? That'd make for a boring fight. There'd be no point.

Paparazzi 3: Miss Rose, rumors are going around that if you win, you get Soul. Is that true?

Ruby: WHAT?! I'd never cheat on Crescent Rose!

Paparazzi 4: Miss Albarn, what about the allegations that Ruby has a slightly bigger chest size than you?

Maka: ...

Maka: *grabs a thick book* Maka...

Ruby: SENPAI, NO! STOP!

Ruby proceeds to hold back Maka from attacking the crowd

Whitley: Attention all Faunus of the Schnee Dust Company District. Your days here are numbered. In 30 days, you will be evicted. In that time, if you cannot find proper residency elsewhere in Mantle, you'll be on the next boat back to Menagerie.

*Concerned Faunus Mumbling*

Whitley: I understand this is short noticed, but due to-

Faunus 1: Wait wait, wait! Does this mean...you're sending us back to Menagerie?!

Whitley: ...Yes.

Faunus 1: Oh my God, I'm gonna go home after 20 years!

Whitley: Wait, what?

Faunus 2: I'll finally be able to visit my mother's grave!

Faunus 3: My kids will finally see our homeland!

Whitley: W-wait a second!

Faunus 2: The White Princess has given us back our lives!

Whitley: Princess?! Wait, no, I'm a-

Faunus 4: Three cheers for the White Princess!

The Faunus: Bahoo dores bahoo dores…

Whitley: *Is too stunned to do anything anymore* ...

[redheartedtramp]

Nora: Ren is like my brother. (Sexually)

Ren:

Nora: Wow~! I didn't know Jaune had a harem growing up!

Ren: Nora...

Pyrrha: Those are his sisters, you sick fuck!

Nora: (Gasps) THAT'S EVEN BETTER~!

[redheartedtramp]

Roman: Well, little red, it looks like you've come to stop me again, huh? Well, get ready for-

Roman: ...

Ruby: *is dragging Crescent Rose with one hand and holding her cheek with the other. There's a cloth tied over her head.*

Roman: ...Are you okay?

Ruby: *mumbled speak*

Roman: ...What?

Ruby: *more mumbled speak that is not anymore coherent*

Roman: ...I don't...I don't understand...

Neo, signing: He knows Sign Language.

Ruby, now signing: I just got back from the dentist. I had a tooth pulled. I'm still hurting. A LOT!!!!

Roman: Oh...you need to, like, reschedule this or something? We can do this next week or something.

Ruby: No! That's not professional! I'm going to stop-

Ruby suddenly collapses in pain, holding her mouth and whimpering.

Roman: N-no, no, it's fine. Really.

Neo: How about a tie?

Ruby: Tie is good! Tie is good!

Later, Ruby, Roman, and Neo go to a soda bar...

Ruby: *sipping milk threw a straw*

Roman: Who drinks Almond Milk...?

Neo: *is sipping Almond Milk* ... >:/

Roman: Well excuse me, princess.

[redheartedtramp]

Remember, buddy, this is the RWBY Fandom, where Jaune has every character trait under the sun because apparently, he has so little that they gotta graft traits onto him like they're welding metal together.

Hey everyone, I'm back from getting the milk.

...

Why is there discourse on if Jaune would hit his friends or not?

[redheartedtramp]

Ruby: So, Whitley, you're, like, rich.

Whitley: Yes.

Ruby: ...So, can you, like, swim in gold like Scrooge McDuck?

Whitley: Actually, that's a common misconception.

Ruby: ...

Whitley: See, if you were to collect a large amount of gold coins, they'd form a semi-solid surface.

Ruby: ...

Whitley: So it'd be more like trying to swim through gravel or solid rock than-

Ruby: Whitley.

Whitley: *rolls eyes* It's my Semblance, okay? Only girls get the Glyphs.

Ruby: You have to show me.

Whitley: No.

Scene: Sonic walks into Tapper's Tavern.

Sonic: Yo, Old Timer. How's it hanging?

Mario: *sighs & keeps sitting at the bar*

Sonic: ...Yeah, I, uh, bet you're really sweating over MY new racing game, huh? Feeling nervous that I'm gunning for ya again?

Mario: ...

Sonic: ...C-come on, Mario. You gotta snap back or it's bullying.

Mario: ...

Sonic: H-hey, Mario. You, uh, feeling okay, buddy?

Mario: ...

Mario: Sonic...you ever feel like you're on the wrong side of history?

[redheartedtramp]

Bruh, imagine posting a joke about Paul & MJ breaking up, closing tumblr, coming back a day later just to see a comic book history lesson. XD

Crazy. I love it.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Peter: Who could that be...?

Peter opens the door and sees a disheveled Mary Jane

MJ: F-face it tiger, you just hit the-

SLAM!

MJ: KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK Peter, please! I just wanna talk!

Peter: You know where the Baxter Building is.

MJ: But it's about your aunt!

Peter: ... *rolls eyes & opens the door* What about Aunt May?

MJ: ...I...I wanted to know if she'd be coming over for my grandma's bridge game.

Peter: Yes.

MJ: ...Will, you also be escorting -

MJ quickly puts her foot in the doorway when she sees Peter go for the knob. She knows he won't risk intentionally breaking her foot...

MJ: 5 minutes. That's all I'm asking. I'll leave without any fuss.

Peter: ....Fine. Go..

MJ: ...Okay, so, I broke up with Paul.

Peter: 4 minutes, 50 seconds.

MJ: What, isn't that enough?!

Peter: 4 minutes, 40 seconds.

MJ: Fuck.

Peter: 4 minutes, 35 seconds.

MJ: *pulls out her notes and starts sweating*

Nightwing: So you can just...buy a gun from a vending machine on Remnant?

Ruby: Guns, ammo, grenades, med kits.

Nightwing: What about candy bar?

Ruby: ...What kind of sick fuck would put candy in a vending machine? Where small children can get it.

Nightwing: I mean, back on Earth -

Ruby: Yeah, back on Earth, you guys got an obesity epidemic. But on Remnant, our kids are lean, mean fighting machines. Ready for a Grimm attack at the drop of a hat. :D

[redheartedtramp]

Okay...I voted for Cinder. Not because I'd WANT that game, but because she's, like, the 6th main character after Jaune and RWBY.

But I REALLY want that Ironwood/Whitley game, lol. They sound so interesting & I really think they could work.

I think the Whitley game could totally work as a visual novel, with you trying to find allies within the company to reinforce your position in the company. You can upgrade skills to know when someone is lying to you (like the crusty old men who want to kick you out or make you into a lobotomized figure head), gotta try to turn around your family (and company) reputation or double down & just be a villain in your own right. And of course, dodge assassins out for your head while being virtually defenseless.

If they made a RWBY game, but RWBY/JNPR are not the main character(s)

Cinder Fall: She's an uWu villain, which can also be said Wild Card. She starts off at the Fall of Beacon, and then Battle of Haven in the intro. Afterwards, she gets to start making moral decisions. The choices are Order - meaning Ironwood, Chaos - meaning Salem, and Freedom, which she doesn't realize means Ozpin until she starts working for him. Mass Effect would probably be the best paradigm, or maybe Rogue Trader, (less sexy, but more statistics).

Ilia Amitola: Ideally this would be a romance where Jaune gives her the first affection she has ever had an she learns the error of her ways. In all honesty, it would probably be an assassin game. We can have the best of both worlds, where she defects from the White Fang, but still has plenty of evil people controlling the world. Jaune shows up occationally, trying to stop her and talk her out of it. Dating catwoman.

James Ironwood: Strategy game, maybe RTS or turn-based. You have to build the Atlasian military, develop the technology, establish bases and logistics. The final level has the Siege of (ever) Night (castle). You don't have to beat Salem, as the teen heroes, do, but you have to build bases to protect them while they enter the castle itself.

Ozpin: Basically like Idolmaster + Uma Musume, but with Huntsmen. He runs the Valean Hunstman Academy. You can bring previous students as instructors. This would allow and justify them to add every fairytale character they could ever want. At the end of the day, you can make a play for Evernight Castle. If they fail, yeah, you know what probably happens. Time to start with the next generation.

Qrow Branwen: The Wizard of Oz, but from the perspective of the Scareqrow. The secret reveal is that he has brains, and his problem is over thinking the end of the world. He supports Ruby and Zwei saving the day.

Reginald "Robin" Hereford: Created for Firen Lhain to represent the main Paladin troop. Preferably, it would a turn-based mech tactical game, (Front Mission 3/4 Era), with Death Stranding 2's game engine.

Roman Torchwick: Mafia story. Given the colourful nature of the world, I'm going to say like Saint's Row III.

Sun Wukong: A RWBY version of Journey to the West.

Whitley Schnee: His father gets sent to prison. Jacques puts in it a trust, with Whitley as his Trustee. This would allow you to make moral decisions, but the board will be on your ass if they think you won't make money, and if you go a couple of quarters with a loss, they will start trying to unseat you.

Winter Schnee: Basically a magical super soldier story.

[redheartedtramp]

Some "hot Coco", one could say.

...

I'll see myself out.

Even when her bottom is nice & hot, Coco is still pretty cool.

[redheartedtramp]

Yang: Oh man. My back hurts so much because of my FAT, SLOSHING tits. If only I had someone to give me a back massage.

Blake then comes running & kneels before Yang. She's cut up & bruised & holding a bottle of lotion.

Blake: Yes, my queen.

Behind Blake are a bunch of unconscious bodies of all the other Yang Ships.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

[redheartedtramp]

To be fair, what IS their dynamic supposed to be? I feel CRWBY didn't know what the fuck these two are to each other.

Sibling coded? Pining? Best friends? Already dating?

It'd be funny if this was asked in universe, but it wasn't, and I wouldn't be surprised if each individual writer had a different idea for their relationship.

Confession #622

[redheartedtramp]

All right, here’s my contribution to the art tutorial infographic world, part 1 of 2.  I’ve noticed that even in professional illustration, so often the humans and environments and armor and whatnot is really, really great— correct anatomy, lighting, proportions, like ‘wow this is fantastic WAIT what is up with that HORSE?’

I suspect two things;

First is that I spend 15 hours a day, 365 days a year looking, touching, handling, and just generally being around horses.  

Second is that most people do not.  

Artists have lost touch with their connection to horses as contemporary society has lost touch with them.  Generally, we don’t have that constant presence of horses in our lives that previous generations did, as horses aren’t part of the everyday landscape any more.  They don’t work the fields, they don’t cart the goods, they don’t deliver the mail or transport you to the next town down the road.

However, we still see horses all the time— in movies, books, illustration, ads and logos, we are presented with the image of horses all the time.  So we assume ‘yes, I have seen horses often and I know what they look like.’  Because of our exposure, we as artists don’t always feel like we need to heavily reference the animals as if we were drawing something we don’t see everyday (say, like elephants or giraffes or sea cucumbers).  Our brain just kind of plugs in ‘horse shaped’ and we go with that.

And I suspect that ends up being where a lot of these common mistakes occur.  Dogs are familiar, but we can easily find a dog to draw from live, to see the way the shapes of its face are put together in 3-dimensions.  Cats, humans, birds… if we venture just a little ways outside our studios (or in some cases, inside), we can find live models to study easily.  

You can’t really do that with horses.  They’re a commodity, sequestered away behind fences on private farms and shuttered away in barns.   So few people really get the chance to be up close and have that hands-on experience to really learn how a horse is put together.

So here’s some things, based on my own experience both drawing and working with horses, that might help you if you find yourself needing to draw one for yourself.

The approach I took might be more complicated than absolutely necessary, but I tried to present the subject of ‘how to draw horses’ a little differently than I’ve seen it done before.  I hope someone finds it understandable, and more importantly, helpful!

If you share this, please don’t delete my commentary about it above. Thanks :3
